Mr. WEO

more money than who? the plaintiff's attorney and his firm or the defendant?

An innocent man with 300 million earned in what would be 10 years isn't worried about legal fees to prove his innocence.

an hour later, his own agent said he'll likely be back

Dude; the "Dead Ball Era" (dirty brown scuffed balls falling apart after being used for an entire game, which made it throw erratically, hard to see and hit) ended ion 1920 (prior to this, Ruth hit a max of 29 HR in a season), after a guy got killed by a pitch. Thus began the Live Ball Era: "Rather than change the construction of the balls, which remained consistent between the transition from the "dead-" to "live-ball eras",[1] rule changes were instituted around how the balls were treated. Starting in 1920, balls were replaced at the first sign of wear, resulting in a ball that was much brighter and easier for a hitter to see. Additionally, pitchers were no longer allowed to deface, scuff, or apply foreign substances to the ball. The impact of the rule changes was felt almost immediately. In 1920, the game changed from typically low-scoring to high-scoring games, with a newfound reliance on the home run. That year, Babe Ruth set a record for slugging percentage and hit 54 home runs (smashing his old record of 29). Aiding in Ruth's success was the fact that he held the bat lower and swung with an uppercut, essentially trying to hit home runs. " Soooo...... the very year the new ball rules (fresh and white!!), Babe Ruth gives from 29 to 54 HR!

I don't think they have filed as a class . That wouldn't make sense for the plaintiffs.

I don't think they would have been tried together. If one of their stories doesn't hold up under cross, it shouldn't have much effect on another plaintiff's case. I assume they have all been deposed.

exactly. he was an outlier.

read the OP yes, i've said that several times now. Brady has been a dominant QB for decades against far better players than Ruth faced.. He is the GOAT. Ruth was "more dominant" is his day because he played a bunch of white guys only (for one)--which tempers his all time ("ever") dominance. Shall I say it again? Use crayonz? lol

I can't really argue for things I haven't claimed as true so I'll let you rant at the mirror now. Your act is as stale as ever.

You can't agree with it....then you lay out the argument proving my point. Thank you. Also, the best athletes of the day were more likely working for a living after, say, college instead of playing baseball. Settle down. Instead of stomping, you are tripping over your untied shoelaces. I didn't say Brady is more dominant, just that he has been great for a long period of time in a far more complex and difficult sport against the best athletes. Ruth clearly did not (see below). You, on the other hand, claimed that without Ruth, "all of sports would have died". You support that silliness by saying citing articles saying he saved baseball (which I have already agreed was true). And something about Bill Russell... Pitchers have always scuffed the balls and doctored them with substances. But I'm sure you knew that. "Back then", baseball was completely white. It wouldn't become brown until 1945--10 years after Ruth left the game. Any suggestion that Ruth played against "the best athletes of his time" is plainly false.

I have already said Ruth saved baseball. Doesn't change that had he not existed, there would have been no sports in existence to make it to the TV era. That's just ridiculous. Have someone nearby you read it out loud if you're not sure of this. Brady didn't change sports or football. You're confabulating and fabricating arguments to rail against--- once again gone off the deep end in your patriots paranoia. But...as a former performer, this is all more likely just an act....an ongoing troll job. No one would truly think this way... a few years ago there were too many HRs--they blamed the balls Now there are far fewer...they are blaming the balls. You make it sound like they were tossing sawdust filled socks back then.

Medical school isn't meaningful training (you specifically said "not shadowing"). If you are concerned about a Cardiology NP not being up to snuff for your initial consult, then you certainly may request to be seen by the MD--be prepared to wait much longer for an appointment where he/she will also just order labs/EKG/ECHO/Stress test, just like the midlevel would have done. This is how it has worked in this country for decades because there aren't enough specialists in most communities to see every patient. How or why this would, in 2022, be news to you...is a mystery. wtf?

That's why the place to start is the Medicare local reimbursement. Multiple products make it straightforward to get local pricing info--in fact to make obvious if your hospital is in compliance.

I refuse to admit that a QB who couldn't win many games, could throw for many yards or TDs and couldn't evade a sack can be compared in a meaningful way to Kelly or Allen based on a "cherry picked stat" of completion % (of under 60% no less). If the best you can say about RJ is that in 2000, he was "nearly average" in completion %, so he was just like Jim Kelly before him and Josh Allen after him then have at it lol. It's not a point worth making. He sucked, by all measures.

Ruth was the outlier for his era, obviously. Chamberlain was likely the greatest athlete to play a major pro sport. And he dominated against better competition than Ruth in his day. That's a testament to the inane power these guys have, not a massive change in wooden bat tech. Ruth was a great hitter, plain and simple.

a silly argument. TV "saved" sports. In his playing days, relatively speaking, almost no one had actually seen Ruth play. Maybe they heard the games on the radio and saw some newsreels at intermission at the movie theater, but he was done years before MLB was televised. People mostly read about him at the time. Had he never existed, television would have put all sports in every home with a TV. This, not choppy films or static filled radio calls of Ruth's exploits, made sports in this country. He helped get MLB out of it's 1919 scandal perhaps (although his own "scandalous" life prohibited him from. owning a team in his later years).

Ruths intangibles didn’t include staying in shape. Batters face an army of fresh arms on the mound every game:starter, middle inning guy, setup guy, closer. Safe to assume any heat Ruth faced in the first 4-5 innings was doused by the last few innings.

well then Ruth can’t be the standard for total dominance if the game he played is all but unrecognizable today.

I was responding to the claim this info simply cannot be known. That’s not true. The law went into effect just last year. Poor compliance doesn’t make it impossible to get this info from a hospital. Pointing out how this can be done fairly simply isn’t obscure.

Bills will never win a SB huh?

lol...ok

Mango doesn't even look...so he concluded no one does. Anyone can look it up and ask the hospital if these are cash prices or negotiated. Plus they can start the conversation already with the Medicare price info in their hands. Hospitals hat don't give the info you can avoid. Competition will compel them to comply at some point.

How many great WRs and RBs did Brady play with in NE over nearly 2 decades? Bills are a pretty complete team, no?

Cash prices are always maximum prices--and very few insured pay any cash other than standard copays and whatever the deductible they have chosen in their plan. The negotiated price info is available. The article you posted from Rice shows that consumers can easily see the pricing differences listed by hospitals in the same city for the same procedure. Consumers then make a choice based on price, if they wish. Who would chose the more expensive hospital? Noncompliance with the law does not mean no information can be found. The other poster claimed he had no idea of cost until he gets a bill. There's no need for that to be true. Shop around. Also, one can easily use one of several apps to see the local Medicare reimbursement for procedures to get an idea of what insurers actually pay the hospital. Many ways to be savvy about this.
